Families of Corey Ruiz and Dalys Jett Call for Police Shooting Transparency

Corey Ruiz, a man in his 30s, was fatally shot by Madison police after a confrontation in which he allegedly injured an officer with a knife. The incident, captured on bystander video, sparked protests and led the family to retain civil‑rights attorney Ben Crump, who is demanding the release of all video evidence and an independent criminal investigation by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

In Indianapolis, 21‑year‑old Dalys Jett was killed after police said he opened fire on two officers. Jett’s family has asked city officials to release body‑camera footage, identify the officers who fired, and have the deadly‑force review handled by an agency independent of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. Both families are seeking greater transparency and accountability following their loved ones’ deaths.
